Fifth wheel options

I am looking for brand option on sliding fifth wheels that are totaly removable, no rails left in the bed.

So far I know of the Pullrite Super glide and the Reese Signature series.


Also my current old travel trailed had been turned into a gooseneck hitch by the previous owner, all of the original pin box is gone. Any good sources to buy a pin box?

Pullrite Superglide

I had a Reese manual slide. Traded it in on a Pullrite Superglide. Pricey but worth the $$'s. I would never go back to a manual slide. Biggest drawback is it is freakin' HEAVY! 225+ lbs. But, once it is out the only thing left behind are 4 holes

I love that option had the B&W in my last truck, the fifth wheel part doesn't work so good for a short bed though, so that on is out, has to be a slider.

I ended up ordering a Hijacker Autoslide 18K with a 25K gooseneck ball. So hopefully it will work good. $1723 for the whole deal about $300 cheaper then the superglide I think.

My 18K Superglide was $1,850.00 delivered to my door, with the super rail kit from BigDiscountRV.com for our 06 Mega Cab.
I ended up selling it for like $1,400.00. Pullrite has way to good of a name and back there products for me to stray to a unknown. I bought there 20.5K Superfifth for the long bed truck I have now. Lets hope this Hijacker can hang with Pullrites autoslider.

Just to clairify the $1723 also included the gooseneck plate (which is around $300).

I have no doubt that the Superglide is a great hitch and would have gone that way if not for the low rating on their gooseneck plate.
